Dual Reporting Calculations – HbA
1c
and IFCC Units
The dual reporting calculations convert the NGSP and mono-S percentages to
IFCC mmol/mol. The source for the following calculations is

http://www.ngsp.org.
Glomerular Filtration Rate Calculation
The system calculates the values for Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) by
using the following calculation. The source for the calculation is the National
Kidney Foundation publication of 1999 MDRD study equation.
GFR = 186 x (plasma creatinine mg/dL)
–1.154
x (patient age years)
–0.203
x
(0.742 if female patient) x (1.210 if African-American patient)
Printed Reports
This section shows the contents of several of the printed reports that you can
select. The Patient Test Report and the System Settings Report have both a

Patient Test Report Contents
When an HbA
1c
or Microalbumin/Creatinine patient test completes, the system
displays the results on the screen. If you have enabled printing, the system
can also print the results on the onboard or external printer, depending on the
system settings. The short-form printout contains less data but prints faster.
The displayed patient test results are the same as for the long-form printed
results. The following table summarizes the information that the system prints
for patient tests.
